The Readme file included with 3.4.1 includes the following example 
virtual host entry:-

    <VirtualHost rt.example.com>

       # Pass through requests to display images
       Alias /NoAuth/images/ /opt/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/images/
      
       # Tell FastCGI to put its temporary files somewhere sane.
       FastCgiIpcDir /tmp

       FastCgiServer /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi -idle-timeout 120

       AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
       ScriptAlias / /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
      
    </VirtualHost>

The fastcgi.com website, also lists the valid apache directives.
